Hello experts,
As is known that gmat quite often uses dummy pronoun(expletive/placeholder) that refers to infinitive or that clause.
Does there also acts the same way?
i) there is a cat--> no refernce where it is
ii)there is a cat in the house--> where ? in the house --> this one acts more like the expletive it

In GMAT are both above sentences acceptable? or does GMAT applies the same rule for there as it applies for expletive it
Thank you very much.
Have a nice day
